6 Objectives for Today 6 Provide a brief overview of the VW Environmental Mitigation Trust and its process and help answer some important questions: What are the categories of eligible projects? What are the largest sources of NOx emissions in the region? What is the make up of commercial vehicles on the road in the region? Of these, which are eligible for funding? What are the benefits of upgrading larger equipment? What are cost effective investment strategies to make the most of Trust revenues? What communities will benefit the most?

7 Focus of our Webinar Today: The Opportunity for $2.9 Billion to Mitigate NOx Emissions through Upgrading Heavy-Duty Vehicles & Equipment 7 Breakdown of the Components of the $14.9 Billion VW Settlement $10 Billion - Vehicle Buyback/Lease Termination (Appendix A & B) $2.9 Billion - Environmental Mitigation Trust (Appendix D) $2.0 Billion - Zero Emission Passenger Vehicle Commitment (Appendix C) Environmental Mitigation Trust In Perspective $2.9 Billion to be spent in as little as 3 years for the sole purpose of NOx reduction Total DERA Funding : $520 Million 73,000 engines, vehicles & equipment 335,200 tons of NOx reduced

8 The Process: Getting to the Trust Effective Date is the First Milestone 8 First Major Milestone: Trust Effective Date

9 Applications For Funding Can Flow After the TED 9 60 days after the TED, States must notify the Trustee of their intention to be listed as a beneficiary and announce a lead agency to manage applications sent to the Trustee. 120 days after the TED, the Trustee will publish the list of beneficiary states 90 days after being listed as a beneficiary, states must submit to the Trustee a plan that outlines how the state intends to spend Trust revenue. (7 months from TED) TED Assumptions (A)May 2017: Funding Plans Submitted by December 2017 (B) June 2017: Funding Plans Submitted by January 2018 Trustee Requirements Maintain a public website listing projects funded, terms of the award and anticipated NOx reduction

17 17 Framework for Decision-making HOW TO SPEND THE FUNDS? PROJECT SELECTION

18 Framework for Environmental Mitigation Trust Fund Decision-making 18 Excess NOx emissions were generated by VW noncompliant vehicles. The EMT is for mitigating those NOx emissions. Identify the largest sources of NOx emissions Identify the most cost-effective opportunity to reduce NOx emissions Identify the opportunities that are available now and yield the near-term NOx reduction benefits Identify the geographical locations of those sources of NOx emissions Maximize NOx Emissions Reductions Now More Clean Air for the Dollar Collateral Benefits in Fuel Savings and CO2

This data includes class 3-8. SOURCE: DTF Analysis of Commercial Vehicles in Operation (2016), compiled by IHS Markit

37 Additional Co-Benefits Accrue from Clean Diesel on the Road A typical Class 8 tractor on the road for 125,000 miles each year. A clean diesel engines will: Reduce NOx Emissions by 2.3 tons Reduce Fine Particle Emissions by 251 pounds Save 23 barrels of crude oil Eliminate 9.7 tons of CO2 emissions Additional Short Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction

38 Medium-Duty Trucks Deliver Benefits 38 A typical Class 7 truck on the road for 45,000 miles each year.

39 Smaller Medium-Duty Trucks Deliver Fuel Savings and Emission Reductions 39 A typical Class 6 truck on the road for 35,000 miles each year. A clean diesel engines will: Reduce NOx Emissions by 150,000 LBS Reduce Fine Particle Emissions by 33 pounds Saves 175 gallons of fuel Eliminate 1.6 tons of CO2 emissions Additional Short Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction

40 ... And, investing in new clean diesel technology will achieve dramatic reductions in PM emissions Health Effects Institute ACES Study of New Technology Diesel Engines Finds Major declines in PM Mass and Numbers Emissions

41 Co-benefits of Faster Turnover to Clean Diesel Also Generates Climate Benefits 41 CO2 Reduction A single Class 8 truck on the road for 125,000 miles a year will: Save 960 gallons of fuel Save 23 barrels of crude oil Reduce C02 emissions by 9.8 tons If ½ the Fleet of HD trucks were MY 2010 or newer, an additional 1.4 million tons of CO2 could be eliminated Black Carbon Reduction Why wait until 2030 to reduce Black Carbon Emissions?

42 AND, even more co-benefits can be achieved... Businesses and Municipalities are Choosing Advanced Biofuels 42 Clean Air and Carbon Reduction Benefits of Renewable Diesel Fuel Clean Air Benefits reduce NOx emissions by 9 percent Advanced Biofuel = capable of achieving at least 50% reduction in GHG emission, according to U.S. EPA. Renewable Diesel is capable of achieving 80% GHG reduction Who s Making the Switch? UPS Google Disney Ryder Consumption By 2020: 400 million gallons of renewable diesel 177 million gallons of biodiesel. Total, bio-based diesel fuels will displace 3.6 billion gallons of petroleum based diesel fuel.

43 43 Off-Road Engines & Equipment LARGE ENGINES LARGE OPPORTUNITIES LARGE BENEFITS

44 EPA 2016 Port Strategy Assessment Outlines the Advantages of Clean Diesel 44 Older trucks and equipment are longstanding fixtures of many port operations, and it will take many years before these fleets turn over to newer technology. Accelerating the retirement of older port vehicles and equipment and replacing them with the cleanest technology will reduce emissions and increase public health benefits beyond what would be achieved without further voluntary actions. For example, the emission reductions from replacing older drayage trucks with cleaner diesel trucks is significant, with NOx emissions being reduced by up to 48% in 2020 and PM2.5 emissions being reduced by up to 62% as compared to the Business as Usual case.

50 Clean Diesel Investments can Reduce 600 tons of NOx Emissions Quickly. 50

51 Emission Reduction Benefits Can Happen Quickly Just Ask the Port of L.A. & Long Beach 51 By 2010, all ~16,000 dray trucks must meet MY2007 USEPA emissions requirement PM Emissions reduced by 97% NOx Emissions reduced by 71% SOURCE: Air Emissions Inventory, Port of Los Angeles

52 Summary - #1 52 The VW Environmental Mitigation Trust provides unique opportunities to have a near term beneficial impact on air quality. Policymakers should utilize a framework that considers the largest sources of NOx emissions & the greatest opportunity for reductions that makes most of the dollars available. Investments in new clean diesel technology to mitigate NOx emissions are the best choice because: Faster, near term proven clean air benefits accrue by replacing old technology with new clean diesel, which is readily available today, without additional infrastructure or other investments.

53 Summary - #2 53 Project simplification and streamlining replacing a few targeted oldest and largest engines reduces overall state administrative burdens, as compared to other approaches where infrastructure investments and technology availability require additional time and have greater uncertainty. Existing mechanisms provided via DERA. Replacing older diesel engines with new clean diesel ones yields additional collateral air quality emissions reductions in particulate matter, CO2 benefits beyond NOx mitigation accrue often in population centers, and can help address other issues.

54 What others are saying... Reducing Air Pollution is the Goal 54 U.S. states are about to receive a windfall their portion of the $2.7 billion Environmental Mitigation Trust fund established by Volkswagen in the wake of its diesel emissions scandal. State legislators, who will ultimately decide how to spend those shares of the money, may be tempted to use the millions to plug budget shortfalls or fund pet projects, as was the case in many states from the $100 billion tobacco settlement in They should resist that temptation. Legislators might have a bigger impact by, for example, helping school districts upgrade their aging bus fleets or incentivizing trucking companies to get older, higher-polluting vehicles off the road. In short, the funds are best spent on their intended purpose: reducing air pollution.

55 55 Accelerating the turnover of older commercial diesel trucks and heavyduty rail and marine engines to newer models is a proven strategy to mitigate NOx emissions. California policymakers know that. It s what they ve been saying for years. It s a strategy that can yield more clean air for the dollar and deliver it faster to more people. Now it s time to get it done.
